Show another sprite when dead

[Moeller]

Hello.
Could anybody make a "script" or what it is, so when you die, you will wait for 5 seconds (or something) and change to another sprite (dead sprite maybe).

And maybe a Mount/dismount, i found a sprite with a horse: http://rtgamer.free.fr/rmk/rmxp/graphic ... cheval.png

Mmh, how can i say it... I read a book in Danish, it's name is Starting Visual Basic (Or what the name is on English :S )
So i know the basic of Visual Basic, but nothing about coding games...

EDIT: And about that link, do codes from Elysium Source works on Mirage Source?

Not all of them, but some might work. But just start with playing around with mirage source. Do the following things:

• Follow the character process, search for addchar and such and try to understand how it works.
  
• Go into the item editor, then go into the code, and follow that, basicly press the OK button in the item editor, and follow the call commands, and then follow the packets.
  
• Try to figure out how the types work and also how to add more variables into them so you can go on with save/loading the info.

Well thank you very much

You also need to learn how packets work. It might be a bit tricky in the begining, so this guide can help you some on your way:

No Problem, I needed help first time I came here too. And I dont remember who it was, but one from the community helped me on MSN on a few things.
